About

A blog about the joys, challenges, and trials of being part of the Sandwich Generation. We'll talk about being squished between our own aging, caring for aging parents, and parenting kids, adult kids, and even grandkids. This season may not be what we envisioned, but let's make it delicious anyway!

About Me

I'm the wife of one, the mother of one adult son, the mother-in-law of a delightful DIL, the oldest of four (and therefore the "responsible one"), a writer, a speaker, and a grad student. My faith informs all I am and do.

THE FCC REQUIRES THAT I TELL YOU:
Some of the books I review here have been received from authors, publishers, or publicists. I receive more books than I can possibly read, and I only review books I've read, so receipt of a book is not guarantee or a review -- or of a positive review. I will generally only review books I believe my readers will enjoy or benefit from. If you're going to purchase a book and would like to help support this work, click on the book images and order through my Amazon Affiliate link. Thanks.

Leaving a Legacy

As I age, I think more and more about what kind of legacy I’ll leave. What have I done that is worth passing on? What are the lessons I’ve learned? What do I want to be remembered for?

Rosemary Lichtman has written a great article on helping our parents ferret out their legacies. She offers four steps to encourage them to determine the intangibles that are important to them. This is at least as important as the financial legacy we spend so much time thinking and talking about.

How about you? What are you doing to create your own legacy or help your parents with theirs?
